Use copper or PEX tubing for the ice maker connection; polyethylene tubing and piercing-type or small saddle valves are not recommended because they restrict flow and clog more easily. Source: Whirlpool - Modular Ice Maker Kit Installation Instructions (W11548724)

What Sioux City Owners Should Know
Most ice machine calls in Sioux City come down to water supply, scale, drains and pumps, dirty condensers and harvest controls.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
